I was actually looking into CPAPs earlier today.
I was told about 10 years ago that I should use one but I didn’t feel comfortable with them on. I am told they are much better now so I am thinking of giving it another try.
I had a tough start too. Eventually my doctor convinced me it wasn’t optional so I took anther shot at it. Now I’m at a point where I can’t sleep without it.
There are a few tricks to it. It took two times for it to take on me. If you have some acid reflex it will fix that too.
Citrus wipes every night will keep your mask good for months.
Yeah, they're definitely a little weird at first. Not nearly so weird as the telephone poles, other vehicles, one dump truck and various crap I hit, hard, before I got enough sense knocked into me to "apply myself" to the endeavor. d;^)
dainbramage- 57 ties an hour, eh? Amateur. Hehehe.
Try 97x per hour. How does somebody even do that? The original doc who dignosed me back in '93 said that I hadn't slept in something like 7 years. Not sure how he figured that, but it was gettin ridiculous. Fell asleep in the middle of a conversation regularly. Also fell asleep driving, even while driving a Harley a coupla times. It's a bad thing to wake up just in time to see a dump truck ass end filling your view.
Good to see folks here who need are trying it. It's a life saver. d:^)
